hey guys...I'm really new to this so please bear with me

I just downloaded Blitz3d and decided to get used to the language by playing around with the samples a bit. I am working with "xfighter" a simple flight-sim. What I would like to do is place a model of a building in the game, on the ground. I have a suitable 3ds model, but I need to know how to "place" it within the game. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
